  • This technology generally relates to methods and systems for sentiment analysis, and more particularly to methods and systems for automatically identifying and mapping a user state of mind in a natural language input by utilizing artificial intelligence.
  • One drawback of using conventional natural language processing techniques to automate the support services is that in many instances, the automated support system is not able to identify a user state of mind such as, for example, a distress state of mind from a service ticket. As a result, conventional automated support services may not consider a mental state of the user to prioritize the user's support ticket when the user is distressed. Additionally, conventional natural language processing techniques do not facilitate mapping of similar service tickets based on a shared state of mind such as, for example, an angry state of mind to identify potentially cascading failures in the networked systems. Consequently, user experience is drastically impacted due to the automated support system's inability to identify and resolve potential errors in advance.
